I just picked up my first broadheads, and after months of listening to opinions, reading polls and other reviews, I finally decided on Grim Reaper mechanicals. I'm not worried about quartering away deflection with these due to the distance that the point extends past the closed blade edge. I don't have to worry about penetration or activation power shooting 300 fps either. The main reason I decided on mechanicals was simply the wider cutting path available. Being colorblind, I need (or maybe just want) that extra blood on the ground. I did decide on the 1 3/8" cut instead of the 1 3/4" cut. I do want to make sure that I get a good pass through. Don't know if I'd get that from the 1 3/4". Anyway, if you haven't seen this, check out the pics at this Grim Reaper address:
